As a child, my favorite meal was always lunch. There were so many options for lunch. Would I be getting a can of the amazing Chef Boyardee — preferably beefaroni — or would my mom end up making me a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of Campbell's tomato soup, or would I end up having a frozen pizza with added pepperoni? The possibilities were endless, and I loved them all. But there was one lunch I loved more than all the others: Oscar Mayer's Lunchables.
Lunchables were amazing as a kid, and even now in the present day state of adulthood. There're so many flawless things about Lunchables, I could go on for days. But to honor these bad boys and all their glory, I've conducted a list of five reasons why Lunchables are amazing.
1. They're cheap.
Even growing up with the state of inflation, Lunchables have remained affordable for even the poorest young adult. On average, a larger sized Lunchable with a juice pouch is about $2.50, and on sale they're $1.99. You get an entire lunch for about $3, how great is that? Sure the portions are small, but they're still a good snack. Which brings me to my next point...
2. Smaller Portions
As I got older, Lunchables no longer became just a meal for me, they're more of a snack now. Need a good snack during work? Lunchables are the way to go! Just got home from work and need a quick midnight snack? Lunchables! Lunchables are perfect for any time of day.
3. The Extra Snacks
With Lunchables, not only do you have a variety of many flavors (which I'll get into in the next point), to choose from but you also get extra snacks as well. Nerds, Reese's Cups, cookies — you name it. It's a nice little bonus to an already satisfying snack. My personal favorite are the strawberry nerds.
4. The Many Choices
Lunchables are great for many reasons. One reason in particular being the many kinds there are. Are you feeling a lunchmeat sandwich? Well, Lunchables has ham, turkey and even bologna selections. Are you feeling pizza? Well, guess what? They have an extra-cheesy and pepperoni pizza to satisfy your hunger. Do you want chicken nuggets? Well, you guessed it! There's a chicken dunk Lunchable for you, as well. Lunchables always has your back, always.
5. The Nacho Lunchable
The ultimate Lunchable. The Lunchable that beats all other Lunchables... the nacho cheese and salsa Lunchable. As a kid, this was always my go to Lunchable. Not only did it actually fill me up, but it always tasted the best. Ask anyone around you, the nacho cheese and salsa Lunchable will always be the best one. Always.
